A moment ago.
Nathan stood in front of Axel. There was a table between them as Axel stretched his hand. “Please take a seat.”
Nathan casually took his seat while asking, “What do you want to say? If it’s regarding Victor Ashton, it’s your fault. I don’t like it when my woman is threatened.”
“Please relax and take a sip. I’m not angry. In fact, I’m impressed by your ability.” Axel sipped his tea with a calm expression. “You have beaten me. I have to put credit where credit’s due.
“With Victor’s defeat, Flora will use this to suppress my power. After all, she must be the one spreading the rumor about Selena being the legitimate heir.”
“Isn’t that just like you? You’re the one spreading nasty rumors about Selena.” Nathan squinted his eyes.
“No. It was Victor.”
“But you must be the one suggesting it.”
Axel remained calm. Instead of denying it again, he just changed the topic. “However, it doesn’t change the fact that she’s still in a predicament herself. She has made a big blunder. And with the school in chaos, it will just end up in mutual destruction.”
Nathan squinted his eyes. “What are you trying to say?”
“In the end, there will be a power vacuum within the student council. Since you have left the student council, how about working for me, Nathan? If you want an apology, I will make an official statement. In fact, I will use my influence to crush the current count Ashton so that Selena can regain her former status.”
Nathan lowered his head, falling into deep thought.
“Please. You can drink some and think about it calmly.”
Nathan took a deep breath before sipping the sea. Unbeknownst to him, Axel was smiling.
Nathan raised his head. “Do you think I will just let this go because I accept it? It doesn’t change the fact that you are a person who will throw me away when I’m no longer useful. Unlike Flora, who appreciates talent, you’re using others as tools.”
“So, are you going to reject me?”
Nathan nodded. “Yes. I will.” Continue the experience on freewebnovel
“That’s too bad. You left me with no choice, Nathan.”
“Huh?” Nathan squinted his eyes, but soon his body lost energy and swayed to the right. “This is…”
Nathan hurriedly used his arm to support him, but he completely lost his energy. “You bastard. You put something into the drink?”
Axel smiled. And that annoying smile once again appeared in front of him.
Nathan looked around. It seemed they were locked inside the room.
Considering Axel’s status, it wouldn’t be weird if he had his personal courtyard.
And Axel shouldn’t be foolish enough to let him scream for help.
“I think you have realized it, but you won’t be able to call someone’s help. No matter how hard you scream, no one will hear it.” Axel smirked. “All we need to do is wait. Once everything is done, we can leave the academy without even the principal knowing it.”
“Teleportation, huh?” Nathan squinted his eyes.
“See? This is the reason I like you. You are smart enough to figure out things.” Axel smirked. “It’s a shame that you won’t get another chance to shine.”
“Is that so?” Nathan smirked. “I guess I have overestimated you. To think you would be this foolish.”
“Foolish? Me? Don’t make me look down on you, Nathan. I have known everything. Do you think I don’t know you have been trying to move your piece this whole time? I even knew you were meeting Alavenya yesterday.
“We have been playing in the game of chess, moving our pieces. While you’re moving your pieces, you don’t know that your king has been exposed.
“I know you are the one playing it, so I know how to defeat you. Meanwhile, you don’t know that you’re playing against me. That’s why you have to find my king first before you can attack me. Without you realizing it, it’s already a checkmate, Nathan.” Axel shook his head helplessly.
The outcome had been decided from the start.
Nathan chuckled.
“What’s funny?”
“It’s funny how you’re so confident you’ve won. While I didn’t know you would be the culprit, it didn’t mean I was completely clueless.” Nathan chuckled.
“Huh?” Axel frowned. “You’re just bluffing. If you think you can enter my mind, I warn you it’s impossible.”
Nathan shook his head helplessly. “Even though you say that, you don’t realize I’ve been in your head this whole time. This space ability user who will teleport us out of here, are you sure about his skill?”
Axel frowned. “Of course he is skilled. Do you think anyone will realize you are here? Do you think they will realize the space ability? No. Your teacher, Vivian, won’t be able to notice it.
There’s not a single person in the academy that can notice his space ability!”
“An utter fool. You haven’t realized you’ve been dancing in my tune this whole time.” Nathan smirked. “There is someone who can stop him, but it’s not necessarily from the Frexia Academy.”
Little did Axel know, the one creating the portal that would bring him and Nathan back was in for a surprise.
When he formed the portal, it suddenly cracked.
“Huh? Wh—! Not good!” The guy suddenly waved his hand and chose to wipe the entire portal, dispersing all the energy. He was staring into the void while widening his eyes. “That Axel. Did he not realize he had been targeted?
And there was actually a space ability user whose mastery was above mine among them? Who was it? The principal and the vice principal didn’t have a space element, and Dikkleus had died.”
…
Frexia Academy.
“Did you find them?” Bella asked while exhaling the smoke. She was sitting on top of a roof, staring at the building where Nathan was.
Evelyn frowned. “No. The other party is quite skilled. He erases the trace and abandons that guy before I manage to track him down.”
“That’s unfortunate, but I guess our new member is quite good, eh?”
Evelyn fell silent, glancing at the building.
